Spring has Sprung

 by Diana McCollum

While working in our garden we discovered a NEW Iris!

I have heard of Iris's cross pollination creating new types but I've never seen it done.

We have white Iris, purple and yellow, lavender and now this beautiful striped lavender and white iris.

Beautiful photos of spring flowers, Diana! I didn't know Irises could cross pollinate to create a new breed. What a gorgeous purple and white striped Iris you have!
